Morford: Void Where Inhibited

This Mark Morford guy (the one with the very nice bio page) seems to write about Bush and the polarization of the United States every week. And in the San Francisco paper, too...he's the perfect example of preaching to the choir and I don't know how effective his formula is compared to, say, Joan Ryan, who actually writes material to make the reader think rather than just nod in agreement. Don't get me wrong, I like the guy. Just sometimes seems his reminders on the backward nature of this country get a little tired. His resolutions column is damn entertaining, though:

"Resolution #6 - More houseplants fewer Pottery Barns. More nipples fewer Parents Television Councils. More relaxed patience less bitter tailgating. More local and sustainable less factory farmed and chem injected. More authentic moans fewer fake smiles. More Nick Cave less Shania Twain. More grass-fed less hormone blasted. More yoga less Monday Night Football. More good porn less Spice Channel. More Whole Foods less Safeway. More truthout and commondreams and AlterNet, less MSNBC and CNN and even the slightest stain of Fox News."

Am I link-happy this afternoon?
